Double-dose hepatitis B vaccination in cirrhotic patients on a liver transplant waiting list.
Development of immunity to hepatitis B virus in cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation is highly desirable. Though a double-dose regimen is available, little is know about its effectiveness. We examined the efficacy of double-dose hepatitis B virus vaccination in cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation. We studied 43 patients who were waiting for liver transplantation...
متن کاملImpact of MELD Allocation System on Waiting List and Early Post-Liver Transplant Mortality
BACKGROUND AND AIMS MELD allocation system has changed the clinical consequences on waiting list (WL) for LT, but its impact on mortality has been seldom studied. We aimed to assess the ability of MELD and other prognostic scores to predict mortality after LT. METHODS 301 consecutive patients enlisted for LT were included, and prioritized within WL by using the MELD-score according to: hepati...
متن کاملPredictors of mortality in patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND AIM The demand for liver transplantation (LTx) increases every year, which is in contrast to the stagnation in the number of donors. This phenomenon has given rise to longer waiting times, which results in higher pre-transplantation mortality. Thus, our aim for this study was to identify risk factors, including nutritional variables, for mortality for patients who are on the wait...
متن کاملImpact of comorbidity on waiting list and post-transplant outcomes in patients undergoing liver retransplantation
AIM To determine the impact of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on waiting list (WL) and post liver retransplantation (LRT) survival. METHODS Comparative study of all adult patients assessed for primary liver transplant (PLT) (n = 1090) and patients assessed for LRT (n = 150), 2000-2007 at our centre. Demographic, clinical and laboratory variables were recorded. RESULTS Median age for all p...

METHODS Using data derived from all adult candidates for primary liver transplantation who were registered with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network in 2005 and 2006, we developed and validated a multivariable survival model to predict mortality at 90 da...
